Archive for the ‘Awards’ Category

An event for Sustrans volunteers in late November included volunteers from all over Lancashire and beyond. Attendees from the Friends, Cos and Dick, were very pleasantly surprised to be called up during the day to be presented with a certificate of appreciation awarded to the Fallowfield Loop volunteers, who had been shortlisted for volunteer group of the year!

As noted in our last post, the Friends were recently shortlisted in the category of Best Partnership Initiative in the Spirit of Manchester Awards 2013! Although we didn’t win our category, it was great to have this further recognition of the value of the Friends’ work! For each of the nominations, a short film was made to be shown on the evening of the awards. The Friends’ film can be seen at the link below.

We are very pleased to learn of the successful shortlisting of the Friends for the Spirit of Manchester Awards 2013! (And very grateful too for the nomination that led to this!)

Our shortlisting is in the category of Best Partnership Initiative, and is further recognition of the success and value of the work of the Friends. As part of the process for this, a short film will be made about the Friends’ work – the film for this and other nominations will be shown on the evening of the awards and voted on to determine the winner of the category.

The award ceremony is on Thursday 26 September 2013. The organisations shortlisted for the awards are listed here.
